I have had this recipe for over 35 years except there is one extra ingredient that is added to make it the best ever. My family loves it and its always a party favorite you can also use this same recipe split it in half use one half cold the other half add a can of chopped green chiles 1jar of marinated chopped artichoke hearts and 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese heat in microwave for 3 mins delish serve with tortilla chips

Excellent recipe, thank you! The leek soup mix is perfect. I've tried vegetable dip, onion soup but none of these really bring this recipe better flavor. I refuse, in fact, to ever make this unless I have leek soup mix. It makes that much of a difference! And allowing it to sit, helps also.

I like the original recipe, but have changed it over time. My variation includes the whole package of spinach, and substitute 1 8oz pkg cream cheese for the mayonnaise. I use 1/2 cup finely chopped celery in place of the water chestnuts, and a couple dashes of tabasco. Thin the mixture with a couple tablespoons of milk if needed.
If there's any left I always have volunteers to take the remainder home.

I followed the suggestions of other reviewers by using a whole package of frozen spinach (well drained) and I only used 3/4 cup of Hellmann's mayonnaise and 1/2 of the sour cream called for in the recipe. The leek soup mix is definitely a key ingredient. I didn't have water chestnuts but I happened to have jicama and that worked very well. I left in the fridge for only 4 hours and it was still awesome. I served it with fresh baked bagel chips.... gone in less than 15 minutes.

Excellent! I made a few minor changes: I used Knorr Vegetables (dried) and instead of water chestnuts I added a can of artichoke hearts. Really, really good and friends and family were so impressed! Thanks for a great recipe!

I was given this recipe as a newlywed in 1980. Ever since I am asked to make it over and over again. It is so simple and the taste is great. I was told to use it with small triangles of pumpernickel bread. Over the years we have used Fritos, Hawaiian bread, Italian bread, and any available kind of bread that is fresh from the bakery. My family has taken the Hawaiian bread dinner rolls and put dip in the middle and eaten it that way. It is best if made a day ahead and let it chill in the refrigerator 12 to 24 hours. I have to hide it when chilling or it will get eaten ahead of time! The Knorr's leek soup mix is what makes it so much better than other recipes. It is getting harder to find it the soup mix, so when I see it I stock up. In a pinch the Veggie soup mix can be used, but is not as good. Enjoy!
